World's Greatest Artists Albrecht Dürer 2 Oz 10 Cedis Silver Coin Ghana 2021

The master of the German Renaissance in silver

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) of Nuremberg was a painter, draughtsman and printmaker – the first artist from north of the Alps to win fame across Europe. His engravings, woodcuts and paintings are still regarded as the height of precision and realism. This coin from the World's Greatest Artists series brings two of his masterpieces together in one striking composition.

Coin design

On the left of the reverse is Dürer's famous 1500 self-portrait – a frontal, icon-like image of the artist with long curling hair. It is struck in high relief with an antique finish, giving every curl and strand of the beard a deep, sculpted texture. The inscription ALBRECHT DÜRER runs along the rim.

On the right, in full colour, is the Portrait of a Young Venetian Woman from 1505 – a red-haired woman in a golden dress with a pearl necklace, painted during the artist's stay in Venice. Dürer's famous “AD” monogram appears on the dark background, with the WGA series logo at the bottom.

The obverse shows Queen Elizabeth II against a golden spiral – the symbol of the divine proportion that Dürer studied in his treatises – with REPUBLIC OF GHANA, the year 2021, 2 oz, Ag 999 and the face value 10 CEDIS.

Packaging

The coin comes in an elegant wooden box with a black interior, together with a certificate of authenticity.

Gift idea

For a lover of painting and art history, a collector of art coins, or anyone who admires the Renaissance. A great gift for an artist, designer or art teacher – a small painting in pure silver that looks beautiful on display.
